Did you read about it at all? His wealth wasn't relevant. France declared he was to be held indefinitely without trial and then deported him to Japan; Japan said no, he has to have a trial, and then France refused to hand over the case files.

Sounds like French laws are deeply problematic.

On the wiki.
